William J. Rothwell dedicates this book to his wife, Marcelina, his daughter Candice Rothwell, his son Froilan Perucho, his granddaughters Freya Szczesny and Lina Szczesny, and his grandsons Gabriel Perucho and Aiden Perucho.

Jacqueline M. Stavros dedicates this book to her husband, Paul, her daughter, Ally, and son, Adam, students, colleagues, alumni, and her Lawrence Tech family and those in the OD and Appreciative Inquiry community who provide unconditional support, wisdom, and guidance.

Steven H. Cady dedicates this book to the giants who have come before us. He is thankful for their generosity, support, and courage. He also dedicates this to his students in the doctoral and master’s programs at BGSU, for he has learned so much with them and is inspired by them every day. Most importantly, he is eternally grateful for his wife Jacque, sons Deakon, Roman, and Logon, and his little Roxy, who always sat by his side while working on the book, now in doggy heaven.
